The trip was quick and quiet as I had imagined, I was impressed that Sky sell tickets from different classes when the space plane is the same for all, not so at least I do not understand Why pay more so (did not travel pigs or chickens, only a sick coterráneas Flaites ugly, but nothing more ). We arrived at
Ezeiza and down the stairs these microscopes in the 80's we had the reception in migration was rapid, and after that we recover our luggage, to notice that one of the bags had not resisted While the "warm " treatment of the airline, bad for the bag, because as I thought sanity better withstand friction and it was not ( do not buy it, it sucks!! ).
After leaving, was the turn of the assembly of the bicycle, which was relatively fast, we move to a service station to adjust the air in the tires and then we start by Lieutenant General Paul Ricchieri Avenue to Buenos Aires, before from a recommendation of an area's natural ... " not to get off the road, there are a couple of shantytowns a bit dangerous" ... so I dutifully went down not for long road, to be located, is something like the north-south, with huge signs prohibited bicycles, which as you can imagine, we failed to decode hahaha.
The journey is long, very long, I honestly do not recommend doing it by bike, and that while nice, is re complicated, and has a small forest species (forest ) around where you can easily kill, rape and butchering no chance of being found in several years. Indeed
populations were re ugly ( not if more than the populations of Santiago ), some tall buildings, such as Japanese horror movie ( really huge) and some houses close together, which disorderly inhabitants build up, obviously not stopped taking pictures, just try to go fast.
Eventually we reached a place where the road loses the berms ( who have damned bull lomillos 10 meters) and becomes something of Costanera Norte, which is why we were forced to get out and find an alternative route. At this point it is noteworthy that Buenos Aires is ultra mega super big, so much so that constant pedal leads nowhere, or so it seems ...
After wandering around town and observe the native fauna, quite ugly, typical of the suburbs, we Avenida Evita Perón ( as the city is gay friendly could plainly called Madonna ), Barrio de Flores , place where the natural change significantly and become more attractive / os.
was a good place to stop and eat a mozzarella (20 pesos) and drinks (9 pesos each), get the netbook and see us, and it was late (20:30 hrs) and frankly was a bit woolly.
Buenos Aires had a good past, a long time and it shows to reach the city, its streets are very dirty, as there is garbage strewn in every corner, the asphalt is good, but the paths are shit, not only for the cobbles and broken tiles, but maintaining that they have is less than minimal, to prove I should note that in several blocks weed grows almost a meter in the middle of the sidewalk, so the thing was not only dodge pedestrians (traffic is another odyssey, since they start before the end of red light), but also dodge holes and these seedlings so beautiful ...
After a brief tour of 40 blocks, we hosting sites, which we previously reviewed by Hostel World Hostels and in them we found some places that looked good and had good references, the truth is that they were like dick tracy and that tired after walking and cycling ( Baires is mentioned that giant? ) we finally stayed Tango Hostels in Chacabuco corner of Independence ( near downtown and a couple of blocks from Puerto Madero ) ... sick for a day, nearly 40 miles of cycling and as we saw the worst of Baires, I hope that now everything is promised glamor.
pd. Obelisk is pure luck and that has neither a bare light that made out into the night.
pd2. After reviewing the bags they also look a little fragile to touch.
